Consumer Description

BACK IN APRIL OF 2014 MY CAR STARTED ACTING STRANGE WHEN GETTING AT 30 MPH. I NOTICED THE RPM WOULD GET BETWEEN 3 AND 4. MY AUTOMATIC NOR MANUAL SHIFT WOULD GO INTO SECOND GEAR. IF IT DID, I WOULD ALMOST GET WHIPLASH. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO REPLACED WIRE HARNESS AND TWO SHIFT SOLENOIDS (SW). I THEN NOTICED DURING THE SUMMER MY DRIVER FRONT HEAD LIGHT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE BULB. AGAIN, IN NOVEMBER OF 2014 MY CAR BEGAN REPEATING ITSELF WITH THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT'S THE SOLENOIDS. THIS IS A DANGER TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS BECAUSE IT'LL STOP GOING THE WAY SPEED IT NEEDS TO. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP PUTTING MONEY INTO SOMETHING THAT KEEPS BREAKING DOWN. PLEASE HELP!! BY THE WAY, THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER SPRAYER STOPPED WORKING. *TR
